FirstNationalBastard : Also missing: Any version of "Hallelujah", especially in a movie or TV show.

You don't really care for music, do you?

BunkoSquad: sigdiamond2000: God Is My Co-Pirate: SIIIIIMPLY HAAAAAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME!

That is the worst song ever by a mainstream musician/band in the history of recorded music, bar none.

It invalidates Paul McCartney's entire solo career, and very nearly invalidates the entire Beatles catalog by association.

It is impossible to take Paul McCartney seriously either as a musician or a human being after listening to that song.

I've managed to go two Christmases in a row without hearing that song, a feat akin to Johnny Vandermeer pitching consecutive no-hitters in 1938. It will probably never happen again.

My office pumps Christmas music into the sh*tters from Thanksgiving to New Year's, and by some cruel trick of the Gods, my morning bowel-voiding biorhythms have been synced to the playing of that song.

I probably heard it 30 times this year. I'm still gun shy about heading to the bog even now that they're back to playing 80s era Phil Collins and Steve Winwood. I think I need to see some kind of sh*t shrink.

Aezetyr: I know this is going to make some people all kinds of stabby, but I have to list.

Ever been to or watched a sporting event? I will bet dollars to donuts that you heard one or all of these songs, possibly multiple times during said event. Hearing these songs over and over again is like having my ears stabbed with a pencil.

1) Welcome to the Jungle
2) Crazy Train
3) Enter Sandman
4) Anything at all by AC/DC
5) That "We READY" crap, do not even know the name of the "song".
6) Seven Nation Army is starting to annoy the shiatsnacks out of me.

Just because it is old, does not make it better. I used to like listening to AC/DC when I was younger. Their music just does not age well.

/yes, I am over 30
//METAL

oh gawd you are so right. The NFL loves welcome to the jungle so much they might as well pay to reunite GNR and have them play it every Superbowl halftime as long as Axl and Slash shall live.

God Is My Co-Pirate: SIIIIIMPLY HAAAAAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME!

That is one of my favorite Xmas songs. Seriously.

mlkmandan: No hate for "shine bright like a diamond........shine bright like a diamond........shine bright like a diamond....."?

*raises hand*

I heard that piece of garbage all over the place while doing my holiday shopping last month.

I didn't know who that annoying voice belonged to until just the other day...now I kinda sorta understand why the jerk who hit her (the same jerk who she stupidly got back together with) did so.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Old crappy songs that I never want to hear again:

Yummy Yummy Yummy
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes (AAAACK!)
Having My Baby
Convoy
Afternoon Delight
Torn Between Two Lovers
You Light Up My Life (AAAAACK again. I'll never understand why that song was #1 for months back in 1977)
Don't Cry Out Loud
I've Never Been To Me

Anything by Jimmy Buffett
Anything by Air Supply
Nearly everything released since 1994
Just about every rap "song" ever recorded

Mikey1969: Infobahn: Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band

You're dissing a sing entirely about getting a 'Nooner'? Who cares how bad it sounds, they were getting away with this shiat almost a full decade before 'Relax! and 'Feeling Japanese' tried it.

I am not dissing a nooner, but if you want annoying songs, this is a big one. Your argument would be like standing up for "It's A Small World" because it promotes world peace.

FirstNationalBastard: You completely missed the entire point of the post you replied to, didn't you...

Here, let me repeat the important section:

The list was "songs you never need to hear again"... not necessarily shiatty songs, although many of them are shiatty. But every time someone needs a shallowly deep moment in TV or Movies, Hallelujah gets dusted off and thrown into the soundtrack. It needs to be stopped.

the point? oh, like i was supposed to read all that stuff you wrote, to which i replied... what is this? philosophy class?

well hell's bells, just throw the book at me why don't you.

Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

"Shook Me All Night Long". Rock radio has killed this song, buried it, loaded the dirt it's buried in onto a giant rocket, and flown that rocket into the sun.

Seconded. ( although "We Built This City" by Starship comes pretty close to taking the title, as listed above in this thread...)

I've been keeping a similar list - classic rock songs that should never, ever, ever be played on the radio. Because of my age, I'm not terribly bothered by songs like Stairway To Heaven or Hotel California or Freebird. I'm more sick of songs that are done to death in commercials, TV shows, movies, etc. Come on, classic rock stations. You have a huge catalog to choose from. Nobody is interested anymore when these are played on the air... if you channel surf on cable TV for 45 minutes, you're guaranteed to hear at least one of these:

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
2. Kiss - Rock N Roll All Night
3. George Thorogood - Bad To The Bone
4. Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
5. Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA
6. John Mellencougar - Jack & Diane
7. The Who - Who Are You

I NEVER want to hear any those shiatty songs ever again. I don't know what it is about those songs, but they grate the hell out of my nerves. It's not that they're bad songs, they just piss me off every time they come on the radio or whatever.

Yeah, I feel like I should apologize to everyone in this thread. It's the Godwin of bad songs.
